I completely ignored the front end development scene for 6 months. It was fine — written by → Rachel Smith

Thank you Rachel for writing this.

An important reminder that you can take time off — even extended time off — from the fast-moving frontend world and still come back and be alright.

What I’ve learnt through experience is that the number of languages I’ve learned or the specific frameworks I’ve gained experience with matters very little. What actually matters is my ability to up-skill quickly and effectively. My success so far has nothing to do with the fact I know React instead of Vue, or have experience with AWS and not Azure. What has contributed to my success is the willingness to learn new tools as the need arises.
